Beard, Wives, Denim

Pond was born under a mulberry tree in Daglish, Western Australia, by Joseph Ryan, Nick Allbrook and Jay Watson. Under said mulberry tree they conceived the idea of an album of tropical psychedelic idiocy that they performed that night at a friends party in North Perth. That album, recorded in their living room about twenty meteres from the mulberry tree, was called Psychedelic Mango.

Their newest release Beard, Wives, Denim was mixed by Kevin Parker and Rob Grant at Poon's Head Studio in Perth. The album is an audio diary of ten friends' strange, terrible and blissful time in the country trying in vain to be a wholesome family band. It sounds just like it, distorted and woozy and fractured and ultimately nostalgic and loving.
